Summary: This paper presents a novel series of TCPEIs adsorbents for efficient and selective recovery of Au(III) ions from aqueous solutions. Among them, TCPEI6 exhibits significantly high adsorption capacity and rate, with an adsorption efficiency of 95.6% within 10 seconds. The excellent adsorption performance is mainly attributed to electrostatic interaction, complexation, and mechanical stability of TCPEIs. TCPEIs can be regenerated within one minute without apparent performance degradation, showing great potential in precious metal ion recovery.

Summary: Core-scale laboratory experiments on rock samples are commonly used to evaluate the efficiency of potential chemical EOR agents, but insufficient sample quantities and inability to restore core plugs to their initial state can lead to biased evaluations. To address this issue, constructing a digital rock and conducting numerical simulations can help mitigate uncertainties. In this study, an integrated digital rock construction workflow is proposed to upscale pore-scale simulation results to core-scale rock physics models, improving accuracy and practicality in routine analysis and modeling.

Summary: Forest regeneration operations can increase nitrogen concentration in watercourses, especially in periods when traditional biological water protection methods are ineffective. Biochar-based water treatment shows potential for nutrient retention. The study found that both spruce and birch biochar have the capacity to adsorb nitrogen, with birch biochar showing better performance at lower initial concentrations. Results also indicate that the concentration of nitrogen significantly affects the biochar's adsorption capacity.

Summary: Miscible CO2 flooding is an effective method for oil recovery, but the heterogeneity at the pore level can significantly affect its efficiency. This study proposes a method based on NMR T-2 spectrum to determine the distribution of residual oil in sandstone without the need for additional agents. The results show that the residual oil is mainly distributed in small pore throats, and the heterogeneity of pore size affects the displacement efficiency. There are also unswept areas with residual oil that can be targeted for further improvement.

Summary: This paper presents the hysteresis and frequency tuning of the Bragg resonance in the spin wave spectrum of a multiferroic structure. The resonance can be tuned over a wide frequency range through a magnetic field, and over a narrow frequency range through an electric field. The electrical tuning is achieved by the magnetostriction of the ferromagnetic layer and the piezoelectric effect in the ferroelectric, as well as the mechanical coupling between the layers.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of chemical enhanced oil recovery on the oil recovery of mature oil fields, identifying ultralow interfacial tensions as crucial for increasing the capillary number and mobilizing trapped oil droplets. Among the five types of equilibrium interfacial tensions studied, it was found that formulations with the lowest type IV equilibrium interfacial tension exhibited the highest oil recovery ratio in core flood tests. This highlights the importance of identifying surfactant formulations with low or ultralow interfacial tensions, particularly of type IV or V, for effective screening and predicting oil recovery performance in core flood tests and field applications.

Summary: Membrane distillation (MD) is an advanced desalination technology that has been widely studied. In this study, a new model was proposed to predict the membrane surface temperatures, permeate flux, and salinity variation with the operating time. The simulations showed that the feed temperature, feed flow rate, and membrane pore size had the most significant influence on the permeate flux. The feed and permeate flow rates had the highest impacts on the temperature polarization coefficient (TPC). The simulations also predicted water recovery rates of 86.8% and 72.1% for seawater and desalination brine, respectively.

Summary: The study focused on heavy metal pollution in the green vegetation of a suburban industrial area in Tuokexun County, Xinjiang, China. The results showed that the overall level of heavy metal pollution in the soil was minor, with mercury (Hg) being the most severe contamination, likely caused by human activities. The composition of heavy metal elements in trees was more stable compared to grass and shrubs, with varying concentrations across different vegetation. Shrubbery was found to be the most effective in heavy metal restoration, and there were disparities in heavy metal enrichment among different vegetation types.

Summary: Plastic pollution has significant environmental impacts, largely due to chemical additives. However, the behavior of plastic additives in marine environments is not well understood. A marine deployment experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of weathering on the extractables profile of four types of plastics in New Zealand over a period of nine months. The concentration of additives in polyethylene and oxo-degradable polyethylene was strongly influenced by artificial weathering, while polyamide 6 and polyethylene terephthalate showed minimal change. These findings emphasize the importance of considering leaching and weathering effects on plastic composition when assessing the potential impact and risk of plastic pollution in receiving environments.

Summary: Few studies have examined the impact of urbanization and meteorological events on microplastics discharged into the sea through rivers. Surface water samples were collected from two Lebanese rivers, with differing degrees of urbanization, during dry and wet periods. The results showed that the most industrialized river had a significantly higher abundance of microplastics compared to the less-industrialized river. There was also a correlation between particle contamination and the season at each site, with microplastic concentrations highest on the first day of the wet season. These findings highlight the importance of considering meteorological events in accurately assessing plastic pollution influx into coastal waters.

Summary: This study investigated the variability in phytoplankton functional structure using a trait-based approach and explored the relationship between species traits and environmental factors, as well as their impact on ecosystem functioning. The results revealed that morphological traits, temperature, and ammonia played a decisive role in the seasonal succession of phytoplankton species. It was found that certain traits favored higher biomass production but might hinder energy transfer efficiency. The strong correlation between environmental variables and phytoplankton functional structure supports the practical implementation of a trait-based approach in studying phytoplankton community dynamics under different environmental conditions.
